Is there

More I want to say now that the cloud has slightly moved away.

Is what I see in front of me always been there.

Or is it for the very first time I am finally seeing what my life could be like if I just stop.

Saying what I want to do and just jump right into it and we’ll figure it out as I go.

For this waiting around is tiring but at the same time my mind is so empty.

What will I say and what will I do

Because I have no clue what to do next and if I do it vanishes so quickly I just don’t know what to do.

I want to fight and not give up for this year has started off good but I have felt a little off even though there is not much to complain about.

But the little that I carry around always gets to me at times.

But, I’m still looking up and hoping things will turn around for me again.

What do

You see when you look at me?

I kinda want to know

But then again not really.

I realize some people don’t think an plan through as much as I would.

Or how greed can cloud your mind until your faced with a option you didn’t see coming.

I wish the situation was different and well it had all worked out better but now it’s really about to get real and how it will end is not even clear to me.

Just another

day.

Just another moment to realize team work isn’t always the way people go.

Just another one sided relationship that gets you no where quickly.

You begin to see who to watch for.

And who to avoid.

Just another week and yet your already counting down the hours and days until your off.

Because things may have changed but you still want it to be your day off and to enjoy the little bit more of sleep you will get.

With no alarm set and no one disturbing you.

Just sleep that carry’s on into the night.

So just another day isn’t how it really is and you are starting to really appreciate each day and moment for what it is.

The beginning

 of another week and how I wonder what will happen.

So many possibilities that it’s hard not to be excited for what is to come of this week I’m heading in.

I know that there is so much more they want me to do but I am trying to focus on my future and not look back to my past.

For today is a new chance to experience something new and wonderful.

No need to worry or over worry for whatever happens is in his hands not mine.

I exist to serve my lord and to love one another.

And do the right thing at all times no matter how much you sometimes want to scream at someone.

Life is well too short to just let things slide anymore, it’s time to stop follow what others think is right only to come back and get you in the end.

The struggle to be more and do more only to feel like they will use you in the end is a hard thing to balance out.

But, I won’t change who I am just so you can make me do more work but I will stand up for myself when I dont want to keep doing you duties.

Feeling this

Way is chilling me to my core as if I am half frozen.

Trying to warm up feels like a chore I can’t seem to handle.

I’m trying but I’m losing this battle as I slowly fall back to sleep as the cold slowly overcomes me once again.
